We learned there are 2-3 people who could integrate this task into their work if there is a well-developed concept. Next, we will create a concept and present it to stakeholder/course director."'''''
Andfurther still, in some instances, candidates encounter educators who are just not able to connect to their somewhat-new ideas:'''''Bogazici: "We thought we could convince professors to give short seminars, talks, etc. We learned faculty needed an extended period of time to teach something important. Next, we will talk with people from the entrepreneurship ecosystem to try and deliver short seminars." (Actually, on number of campuses students are teaching short workshops that expose their peers to new disciplines... it's just not something that traditional faculty are willing to try.)'''''
The point of a Lean Startup interview is not to pitch and sell people on your idea, but rather find out about the values and needs of the person you are interviewing. So, if you get negative reactions or feedback, ask yourself ''why?'' to make some inferences about the underlying motives in a way that can help you refine your hypotheses. Maybe your idea better resonates with a different stakeholder on campus. That’s why it’s important to interview as many stakeholders as possible.
